Change

"No progress occurs without change, but not all change is progress." - John Wooden

Where are you now as a player and whom do you want to become? Change requires work. 

Effective coaching requires the ability to project, to see what a player can become. Three factors determine a player's impact - size, athleticism, and skill. For the NBA draft, three factors determine a player's projection - college program, performance at the program, and age at the time of the draft, the younger the better. 

A program's consistency requires constant influx of young talent. But some players who were less impactful as a junior become major contributors as seniors. 

As a junior, Ruth Breen had 31 assists which blossomed to 639 as a senior. Teams flourish according to player development. "Every day is player development day." What are you doing today to improve? 

The road to success is always under construction.
Champions don't focus on competing with an opponent.
Champions compete to be better today than they were yesterday.
